power steering

First of all...MAKE SURE YOU ARE POURING IN TRANNY FLUID!

The power steering system on the E23's weren't designed to take normal P/S fluid. Only ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is supposed to go in there...so that may be part of your problem.

Unless you know that already and have been following this procedure, then I'll do some more digging.
